Akamai is the wise care of your person. Healthy, natural personal care essentials, delivered right to your door via subscription and “on-demand” service. We believe clean and healthy teeth, skin, and hair can be achieved with a back-to-basics approach that is reasonably priced and completely focused on health, using only natural ingredients that are good enough to eat.
Our mission is to help people break free from the modern mainstream personal care paradigm of “too many products, (toxic) chemicals and complexity” that comes with a high cost to our health, wallets, and environment. We believe there is nothing normal about what has become “the norm”. We believe less is more.
